About 3 weeks ago, I came down with what I thought was the flu - body aches, coughing up mucus and 103 fever. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, given antibiotics and prednisone. 2 weeks later, I'm still coughing constantly, but it's dry - no mucus, can't sleep and found I've lost over 10 lbs. My appetite is down, but I have been eating.
It is common to lose your voice with bronchitis. Usually it is all the coughing. I am praying you get well soon.
Please let me know how the appointment goes.

I still coughing and still felling that weird sensation in my back every time I take a deep breath , what can this be, how long this can last?
The major cause of coughing up blood is chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis. Other possible causes of coughing up blood include COPD, lung cancer, tuberculosis, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and lung abscess to name a few. Also, check to see if he is on blood thinners for heart disease, this could be causing the bleeding. I suggest he should go the ER, for immediate evaluation.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
It is a disease affecting the lungs causing narrowing of the airways, usually due to an allergic reaction to triggering factors. Therapy is with bronchodilators which cause the airways to dilate. Your symptoms could also be due to COPD or Bronchiectasis. The other causes could be due to Bronchitis or Cystic fibrosis. You will need to consult your doctor who may need to do a sputum culture and sensitivity to determine what antibiotic the organism is susceptible to.
So I went to the walk in clinic this morning and was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. I'm almost 12 weeks pregnant and need some advice as to what I can rake to help with this god awful cough.
I've had this really bad cough for like 2 weeks n it just gets worse n worse to the point where I start losing air cuz I can't stop coughing. My mom thinks I might have bronchitis.. sadly I had to Google it because I didn't know what that was. N now I'm freaking out..
how long will bronchitis last? I was sick for over a month coughing,shortness of breathe, flem, wheezing... all of those have gone away except the wheezing.. sometimes its worse then other times.. I previously smoked for almost 2 years but at max 5 or 6 ciggs a day and hookah..
I don't know if this is pertinent, but Advair caused such extreme coughing (almost incapacitating bronchitis) that I stopped using it. As for Spiriva, I find it extremely drying. I only use it every fourth day. On that regimen it helps. My lung health is actually much better and I am more comfortable since I gave up Advair, and my coughing is moderate. Advair also caused me to develop adrenal fatigue, which was quite dreadful, and I am still recovering from it.
my 7 yr old dgtr has been coughing and vomiting at the same time for going on 3 weeks now. She is asthmatic and has been diagnosed with bronchitis. nothing is helping the cough is about every 20 min awake or asleep. The cough started out to occur only at night and it has now moved to all day and all night. She no longer has any food in her stomach and just violently dry heaves. She keeps being given antibiotics and thats it.
Since you got well and then got sick again, you may either have a resistant strain, or have picked up a secondary infection. Yellow phlegm with a clear x-ray sounds like bronchitis. Either way, you need to see a pulmonary doctor to prescribe a different antibiotic to treat this new infection. Be sure to get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

if could be any of the following
Blood clot in the lung
Bronchiectasis
Bronchitis
Cancer
Cystic fibrosis
Goodpasture syndrome
Inflammation of the blood vessels in the lung (vasculitis)
Inhaling blood into the lungs (pulmonary aspiration)
Irritation of the throat from violent coughing
Nosebleed that drips blood down into the lungs
Laryngitis
Pneumonia
Pulmonary edema
Systemic lupus erythematosus

Both my daughter and I have been sick with flu type illness and bronchitis for almost two weeks. Even though our flu tests came back neg the urgent care dr feels we did have the flu. We went back to see urgent care dr yesterday for the 3rd time since being sick. My daughter still have episodes of coughing and dyspnea. The dr at urgent care did do xray on me but not on my daughter. Sent me on my way with increased dose of prednisone and told me i was wheezing.
I started out with my VL at 1.7 million.My 2 week bloodwork had it down to 20.I do not have my 4 week blood results yet.The reason I am nervous is while I was doing peg-ribo and incivek my VL went down to 160 which is nothing.I was expecting to be clear on my next bloodwork but it went back up to 11,000 and continued to rise until they took me off it.I was crushed so I will not allow myself to get excited this time until I see it in black and white.
Got it and yes, gerd does cause a cough for some. Sorry, I wasn't very helpful with my questions. The thing with blood pressure is that it can rise periodically and that can be normal. This is why the tracking is important to look for a pattern. If it is routinely high, that's a problem. If it is occasionally high, less so.
WAIT A MINUTE... from what I am seeing online white build-up has nothing to do with bronchitis! I am getting really scared as the last three weeks I have been taking anything and everything to help this... and NOTHING is coming from any of it! The reason I am so concerned about it being cancer is that I up until about two months ago was a HEAVY HEAVY drinker...and smoker... since I have totally quit smoking and only drink 4-5 pitchers of beer a WEEKEND! and none during the week!
Treated for bronchitis twice at holidays and still coughing and clearing my throat. Now have left side rib discomfort. Taking Prilosec as dr said maybe refux. Nothing seems to help. Chest xray clear. Blood work was good. What should I do next? I'm at my wits end and worried. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!
